According to my old school dictionary, the verb 'attribute' means 'to consider as belonging to', while the noun means 'a quality or property inseparable from an item'. In Windows programming, the term 'attribute' is used by many technologies, and with the release of the .NET framework you'll find it used even more. In general, an attribute is a property of an item which forms part of its description and defines some aspect of its behaviour.
